Hi, I found some white fungus growing on my two axolotls and so I have put them in the fridge and I have been giving them salt baths twice daily. This has been for about three days now. However, when bathing them today i found the white on their bodies had gotten worse. Is this just a reaction to the salt? Do I need to be worried? What do I do? Please help me!

This is the photo I took of my eldest one, and my other Axie isn't much better.
 
I've never fridged an Axolotl for fungus, and only ever salt bathed once and that was only because a friends Axolotl had 3 limbs bitten off and ended up with fungus on all 3 limb wounds.

Id suggest not putting them in the fridge, do the salt bath once a day. Keep them in cool dechlorinated water. Change the water 100% everyday.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
